As both a Personal Trainer and Psychotherapist I utilize a mind/body approach in my work with individuals, teenagers, couples and families. I promote transformational change that encourages healthy balances in work, life, spirituality and growth. My over 15 years in fitness, wellness coaching, and psychotherapy brings a unique integrative approach to overcoming issues such as depression, poor motivation, low self esteem, negative body image, anxiety, and feeling out of control and disempowered in your own life. I have supported my clients in learning radical self acceptance through improving relationships with themselves and others. We work together to increase life satisfaction by targeting the underlying issues around overeating, lack of self care, and the inability to ask for what they need.

I approach my psychotherapy work from within an integrative wellness philosophy. I utilize theoretical orientations from evidenced based practices within the framework of three approaches: Strength Based Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I work with my clients to first identify what a truly authentic and passion filled life would be like for them – a process that at times is being considered for the first time. This understanding guides and directs our work together as I believe that all of us hold within us our own intuitive guide on how to navigate this life while experiencing our truest self. We can at times find ourselves our own worst enemies as we place defenses (road blocks) in our own way and sabotage our successes. Our work together identifies the reasoning behind such blocks and finds solutions and internal strengths to overcome such obstacles.

For my work to be authentic, I live under the philosophies that I promote with my clients. I found my passion in working with individuals and families to encourage integrative wellness. I love to challenge myself and continue to grow in every opportunity I can.

I serve clients in the Los Gatos, Saratoga, Campbell, San Jose and Morgan Hill Area. I also work with clients in their home by request. In addition, I have worked extensively with adult/teen clients who have severe and persistent mental illness like schizophrenia, Depression and BiPolar Disorder. I have helped families of adult clients with these disorders put a plan in place to allow for long term care of their loved one. I write, teach and have facilitated groups on: Integrative Wellness, S.T.E.P. parenting classes, Support Groups on Self Esteem, Healthy Sexuality, Anger Management, Healthy Living, and a Women’s Empowerment Series based on, “The Four Agreements”.

I look forward to meeting you.
